The FIMA also added that the because the NEET PG 2022 stray counselling was conducted on January 10, many students did not get enough time to prepare for the NEET PG 2023. 

Students are worried about the long gap between the NEET PG and the counselling process and have taken to social media to reach out to the concerned authorities to listen to their pleas and postpone the exam. 

Hashtags such as #NEETPG, #NEETPG2023, and #postponeneetpg23 have been trending for the past month. Over the past few days, Twitter has been flooded with tweets from multiple NEET candidates who are requesting the postponement of the March 5 exam.
